The storm which started in on Satur-
day evening and lasted until Tuesday,
was the worst of the year. The wind in
the neighborhood of Lake Erie attained
a velocity of sixty-fve miles an hour
something very rare for a continuous
wind. The harbor here was well filled
with craft, both steam and sail and many
| others were anchored in the bay. The
snow fall was simply a suggestion here,
but elsewhere binding snow storm
added to the dangers attending the wind.
The following are the marine disasters
resulting from the storm:
The Canadian barge Oriental, coal
laden, sunk in Ontario; schooner G. O. ID.
wheat laden; ashore and gone to pieces
at Port Burwell, Lake Ontario; the barge
Ark is ashore near Buffalo The propel-
Ter Sherman and schooner A. Bradley,
ashore and in bad shape near Marquette;
propeller Spencer and consorts IrOnton
and Tremble, ashore near Lake George;
propeller Delaware, wheat and -four laden.
stranded at Hammond's Bay; barge Ply
mouth is ashore near Presque Isle and
will prove a total loss; barges Dolphin
and Morris went adrift near Sand Besrfn
and are supposed to be lost: schooner
Marionette sank in Pcc,rrr Hone barbor.
schooner lack Chandler, coal laden for
tscanapHe., driven ashore at Noble Station,
, GGroken in two. A large vessel went
ashore near Cleveland, the crew were
lashed to the rigging; schooner James f.
JOY went to pieces at Ashtabula; the
crew were saved.
The steam barge Polynesia, coal laden
and bound for Chicago, went down off
Sheboygan. No lives were lost; the
steamer City of Owen Sound went down
on Monday near Clapherton Island light
house; the crew were saved; the schooner
Pewaukee went ashore at the entrance
OF Green Bay; the Sutton and the Mellon
are both sunk near Port Colborne.
The loss of life is not at all what was
to be expected from the number of dis
asters and the fearful character of the
storm. Life saving crews did gallant
work at many places, and to their efforts
is largely due the comparatively small
loss of life. The crew of five on the barge
Oriental were lost. The life saving crew
which rescued ten men from the Bradley
had to remain in their boat all night and
were frozen to their seats and had to be
carried out of the boat.
There were several disasters of minor
nature which may be classed as 'too nu-
merous to mention" The gale is said to
be the worst ever known on the lakes

WHILE hunters are busy preparing
camping outfits and going up north to
capture deer, this county seems to be
better hunting ground than the promis-
ed land to which sportsmen turn their
attention. On Saturday last Mr. Smell
of Liberty while out hunting, ran across
herd of eight deer and succeeded in
shooting one, a fine, large buck, which
he sold to Mr.. Lobe of this city There
is large swamp in Liberty and here the
deer conceal themselves. It is likely that
swamp is now pretty well patrolled by
local sportsmen.

Mr.. KRAUsE of Centermille has deer
which farmer named HUM wished to
see. Instead of peaking through the
Sits, Hahn opened the door and the deer
sprung forward upon him and beat him
to the ground, escaping to the woods
A band was organized to capture the pet
bat when he was found he charged upon
his would-be captors and they fed in
gloriously. Ayoung lady who had fon-
died the deer while he was in captivity, ap.
preached the Infatuated animal which al
lowed her to place rope around his
horns and he was led lone in triumph.

AT the meeting of the city council on
Tuesday evening bids for the construction
OF water-works were opened Four COM
panes had bids in and three representa-
tlves present at the meeting. The bids
as Will be perceived are somewhat in adj
vance of the estimates made, but the
plans have been changed so as to make
the system better and hence more expen-
slve. Instead of 10 miles of pipe there
are now to be 1215, and the smallest is to
be six inches instead of four as originally
intended. The largest pipe is to be Is
inches instead of II as at first contemplate
ed. The bids are as follows: American
Waterworks " Guarantee Co, Chicago.
$500 rental peryear: extension hydrants
81 each: s. for rooms, 81 each extra
room; works to be completed one year
from date of contract.
". FL. Friedman and associates, Chi
cago: annual rental $500: extension by
drants, $40: work to be completed Nov
ember !, 1888.

n. Y; annual rental $500; extra by
drants $40 each.
{. f. Gray, Jr, Chicago and associates;
annual rentab S6,750: extra hydrants SIS
each.
The council took no action upon the
bids as inquiries are to be made concern
ing the satisfactory working of different
systems where now in use. The company
whose bid Is lowest has plant in at Es-
canada and the people there appear to be
perfect " pleased with its workings. 4
contract will probably be soon made so
that work may be begun in the spring as
soon as the weather permits,

TIE educational tax due the state from
Manitowoc county is S18,799. The coun-
ty receives from the state little more
than this amount. The charitable and
penal tax which the county must pay
foots up to S2,113. There are eleven
counties which pay higher educational
state tax than Manitowoc and 25 which
pay higher charitable and penal tax.

IT is claimed that gold has been founC

IT is claimed that gold has been found
near the source of the Chippewa River in
this state. Gold has also been found
near the shores of Lake Superior close
to the Canada line. A singular feature
of this find is that the mines appear to
have been worked before though the
vegetation above the mines and which
must have post-dated their working. is
1900 years old. The specimens of gold
found leave no doubt of the existence of
gold. DR.. Luhman of this city, is one of

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.


The term "teXas" applied to the hurricane
decl, of a steamboat, had It's origin on tho
Mississippi in 1916. When boats were first
built the pilot house was placed on the hurri-
cane deck. Finally, in the above mentioned
year, the pilot house was placed up higher,
and underneath it was made a room or two,
with about six or eight belths in it. When
tough passenger came ON board and had
sufficient money to pay his cabin fare, the
clerk, not wishing TO put him among the
cabin passengers, gave him u bunk in this
little cabin, and sometimes it would be filed
with some of the worst roughs in the country.
Finally the officers Ce the boat, owing to the
toughness of the room, christened il Texas,
after the state of Texas, which at that time
was noted for its wild cowboys. robbers and
the like. Boats of late years, and especially
the large ones, are built with a full length
texas which is occupied by the officers and
crew.

President Cleveland's tour has ended,
and he shares with Andrew johnson the
honor and notoriety of having swung
around the circle as a candidate for Il re-
nomination. He was everywhere received
in manner befittng the high Office which
he holds. In his speeches he wisely avoid
ed politics and confined himself to the
local history of the place where he was
speaking. In fact he seems to have made
up his mind at the start to speak only
when it was unavoidable and then to talk
without saying anything in particular
He carried out his plan until he reached
Atlanta, when he struck different vein
He babe the Southern people re-
member that by his oath he
was president OF the whole people
and advised the young men to prlze
American citizenship. His well-sounding
words lose their force, however, wnen we
remember that Mr.. Cleveland addressed
this eXhortation only to the young white
men of that section, and that he has no
sympathy for the millions of loyal people
in the South who are deprived Of their
legal right each to cast Il vote and have it
honestly counted. The president was
wise in taking his charming wife with
shim. She had constant ovation all along
the line; and counts the people of every
State she has visited as her admirers
This tour was not really needed to as
sure the denomination of Mr.. Cleveland.

candidate and if he lives till the conven.
ton meets, it is as certain as anything po-
litical can be, that his name will again

The imperial army of Germany, including
the Landsturm and the one year volunteers,
would make war strength Of about $780,
0O0 added to which those not trained on ac-
count of not being up to the standard at the
time of drilling, the total available force of
all classes would be 5,G70,0O0 The Russian
army on II war footing numbers $4,000
and if the militia UNFRAMED and levied only
i'll time of war; were added, the total availa-
bic war forces would amount to about 3.2OO,-
OOO This gives Germany all excess of 2,41O,-
900 over Russia. Therefore the German army
is the largest France has war force Of
about 2,5OO,tO0 at her disposal, and, taking
into account the various classes Of able bodied
men whose services have been i>iensed with,
the total number amounts to 3,7jO0OO This
still leaves Germany the largest The actual
standing armies of these countries, however,
is much smaller, that of Russia being in 1855
reported at 100000 men; Italy's permanent
force is put down at about the same number.
